April Reward Running - last weekend to improve your score!

Where are you racing this weekend? Make sure it's a good result and one that will improve your handicap score so that you feature in the prizes for Reward Running.

Reward Running, sponsored by adidas and Sennheiser, rewards the runners who improve their handicaps the most each month. The most improved receive an adidas miCoach and the rest of the top ten a set of Sennheisher headphones. There will also be some spot prizes each month.

Within the top ten, one place is reserved for the most improved in each of the four handicap categories:

1: 5 or under
2: 6-12
3: 13-20
4: 21 or above

There is also one place reserved for the most improved runner that has run at least 10 races in the year before the competition month.

To enter the main competition, you need to have done at least two races this year, before this month, although other runners will be eligible for the spot prizes. If you haven't already signed up to Reward Running make sure you do it today! A pop-up will sometimes appear on any pages when browsing the rankings pages, if you haven't already entered, or you can enter on your profile page.

Gareth Marshall is our current April leader after improving his handicap by more than 8 points (8.702) but Elizabeth Renondeau is close behind having improved by 7.795 points. Both Gareth and Elizabeth are in category 3.

Other category leaders at the time of writing are:

Category 1 - Nathan Smeaton - improvment of 2.685

Category 2 - William Russell - improvement of 3.930

Please note - the main runbritain website will  be offline from this evening until Wednesday 1 May,whilst we update our systems, but you will still  be able to check out your scores on our Rankings Section at www.runbritainrankings.com
